Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 37. City of Tomorrow (3)

[Extra 37. City of Tomorrow (3)]

Every time what she saw and heard about the world, Joyner felt a huge sense of depression, like a big stone weighing on her heart forever, unable to move away.

There is only one reason, she hates this era.

In this era, if you have a gun, you are the king of grass, and it seems to be the same everywhere in the world. The various orders in the world have long been in chaos, and the hope of human survival is only based on the cruel forces like beasts.

Barbarian forces emerged in endlessly from various places. Short-term gains replaced long-term peace, and they each developed their own armed forces. It’s a competition to see who has the biggest fist, who has the strongest teeth, and whose claws are sharp.

The majority of the disadvantaged people have established powerful thug leaders, and the thug leaders continue to enslave other people, invade other forces, obtain resources to develop their own, and integrate the defeated other forces into their own camp to continue enslaving them. them.

In such a world, chaos is the main subject, and no one has the so-called dignity and loyalty at all.

Joyner looked at the huge fortress that was gradually approaching, feeling depressed again and unable to calm down.

The yellow sand was blown up by the dry wind in the wilderness. Through the car window, Joyner saw a few lights – someone was moving nearby.

“There’s no end to this kind of thing.” The bald man muttered and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

Joyner saw huge fires burning behind these people, with thick smoke billowing. Some people had sharp hoods on their heads, with only two holes remaining for their eyes. She could vaguely see the dry thorns entwined on the backs of their heads. The hands of these people were handcuffed behind their backs and tied to wooden stakes on the side of the road.

Others covered their faces with cloths and poured water on them. For a moment, the blindfolded people twitched all over, and a dull wail sounded. Those people seemed to be forcing them to admit some crime.

Joyner was suddenly shocked – she knew that people whose faces were covered with cloth would suffocate quickly and would have uncontrollable fear in their hearts. In the past, this was often a crude but effective method used to interrogate stubborn prisoners.

“Are those people slaves?”

Joyner asked, staring intently at the figure in the firelight, without realizing that something might have been revealed in her words.

Fortunately, the truck continued to move forward, and the bald man didn’t care. He said carelessly, “Those people may be prisoners of war, spies, patients, or criminals. It looks like they will be killed soon.”

“Kill them!? Are they? Not from Yinsha Castle?”

“Maybe, maybe not, it’s possible, but who knows?” the bald man said nonchalantly.

Joyner was silent and looked away.

Only then did she realize that the Hidden Sand Castle was not as peaceful as she thought. The conflicts within the gangs were so fierce, and some locals would become prisoners of war.

“Isn’t it good to treat them as slaves? Why must they be killed?” Joyner asked in confusion.

The bald man seemed to have been used to this kind of thing for a long time. He had some reaction to Joyner’s ignorant question and his expression stiffened for a second, but he still didn’t pay much attention.

“You are really new here!”

He replied disdainfully, “Is your head empty and you don’t know anything…? Do you even need to ask?”

“Uh, what’s wrong?” Joyner He also noticed something. He seemed to have asked a question similar to common sense. His face changed slightly and his words immediately faltered.

“Let me tell you, there is a shortage of everything in the Hidden Sand Castle, except for people! It is very difficult to feed so many people. Food, water, fuel, clothes, and a place to live, etc., you understand, right? Anyway, There just aren’t that many living resources!”

“Oh, are the living resources very scarce?”

“I…I understand.” Joyner nodded, but quickly shook her head and said, “But these people are also laborers. They can reclaim wasteland and expand the territory of Hidden Sand Castle, so they can’t support them. Are there more people?”

“What? Are you thinking, new guy?” The bald man burst into laughter.

“Capable craftsmen and farmers are what we need here, not slaves who are born to do hard work.” The bald brother was preaching seriously.

“In addition, some people are sick and have no labor force at all, some are missing arms and legs, and some are stupid, bad, and disobedient, but these people all have a mouth and need to eat a lot every day. Drink. Understand? They spend more resources than they produce, so… you should know that some people are not even worthy of being slaves!”

The bald man’s truth hit Joyner in the heart like a hammer. After hearing this, I was speechless and unable to explain.

But she still felt that there was something wrong with this statement.

“I’m telling you, it’s not just that!”

“What?”

“Those gangs are all fighting for territory in Hidden Sand Castle, and whoever is more powerful will be the boss. So compared to the lack of supplies, what’s more terrifying is the management Once the order of these gangs in the city becomes more chaotic, it will be difficult to control each other, fighting and killing, so the conflict between the Xuan Ming faction will also arise. “

“Then what did they do?” Qiao .

Ina is trying to understand the power situation of Hidden Sand Castle.

“Are you talking about the management of gangs?”

“Yes.”

“That’s no need to ask. Of course, whoever has the biggest fist is in charge. Isn’t this obvious? Oh, by the way, they also have the blessing of faith.”

“Faith Blessing?”

Joyner was quite surprised. How could people have faith in such an era?

“So, you don’t know anything, you are really a rookie!” The bald man curled his lips and said. “Belief is a very mysterious thing. It can control other people’s thoughts. It is not something that low-level people like us can have access to. You have to reach a certain level to have access to it, or know a know-it-all like me. Do you understand?”

“Then ?”

…What level of people can come into contact with faith?” “To put it bluntly

,

it is some unspoken rules and brainwashing rhetoric in the city, but some people believe in this, especially gang leaders.

Where did it come from?” Joyner asked impatiently.

“Let me tell you a secret. The big bosses of both Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming gangs are willing to listen to the words of the Scarlet War Witch. He lived in Hidden Sand Castle long before Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming. It is said that he is the embodiment of faith. He said this The place was cursed before…”

Seeing that Joyner remained silent, the bald man thought she didn’t believe it, so he continued, “And the ‘Scarlet War Witch’ found a lot of high-end things from the ruins underground, all from the past. Ancient objects. It is said that they have the power to make people fearless of death, and their own strength can be increased several times. “

What kind of ancient objects are they?” Joyner was shocked when she heard this. Is there such a thing?

The bald brother rolled his eyes again, shook his head and said, “Who knows, how can low-class people like us know so much!”
